I probably managed to remove a few good link as well,
but it was clear
that there had been almost *zero* edit oral oversight of these links.
When we allow articles to have large lists of links without solid
editorial oversight, we are no more useful than google... and worse:
we are more subject to manipulation than the authors of the links.
It is my belief that almost every page with more than 10-20 externals
is in the same position of low to no oversight on the externals, and
many with more than 5 externals.
A list of pages which I suspect of having low edit-oral-ness (whatever
that is) of their external links is now available.

The page doubles as a browser stress test. Enjoy.
